Download file of size 3GB failing with error

Question

Hi all,
I have created an asp.net web application and created azure storage account and saved a block blob of size 3GB.
Now I want to download this file of size 3GB but getting error that "Connection was closed". There is no problem on network in my system but still I am getting this error.
Thanks looking for help.

Have you tried this// Retrieve storage account from connection string.
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount =
CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
    CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageConnectionString"));
// Create the blob client.
CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
// Retrieve reference to a previously created container.
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("mycontainer");
// Retrieve reference to a blob named "photo1.jpg".
CloudBlockBlob blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference("photo1.jpg");
// Save blob contents to a file.
using (var fileStream
= System.IO.File.OpenWrite(@"path\myfile"))
    blockBlob.DownloadToStream(fileStream);
